A parent is using a garden hose to fill up a small inflatable pool for her young child. The pool has a capacity of 90 gallons. She turns the water off after 5 minutes, but
leaves the hose in the pool for another 3 minutes before putting it away.
In this situation, the relationship between the gallons of water in the pool and the 8
minutes since the parent started filling the pool can be seen as a function.
1. In that function, which variable is independent? Which one is dependent?
2. Write a sentence of the form
is a function of
3. Sketch a possible graph of the relationship on the coordinate plane. Be sure to
label and indicate a scale on each axis. Blank grid with axes. Origin O.

The table shows a pattern of exponents. what is the pattern as the exponents decrease?

You're locked out of your house. the only open window is on the second floor, 25 feet above the ground. there are bushes along the edge of the house, so you will need to place the ladder 10 feet from the house. what length ladder do you need to reach the window?

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) without doing any computations, order the data sets according to increasing value of standard deviations. (i), (iii), (ii) (ii), (i), (iii) (iii), (i), (ii) (iii), (ii), (i) (i), (ii), (iii) (ii), (iii), (i) (b) why do you expect the difference in standard deviations between data sets (i) and (ii) to be greater than the difference in standard deviations between data sets (ii) and (iii)? hint: consider how much the data in the respective sets differ from the mean. the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). the data change between data sets (ii) and (iii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (i) and (ii). the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) decreased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). none of the above
